TPP SIGNING TODAY

The new TPP is taking a big step forward today. The 11 countries, including Canada are set to sign the landmark agreement in Chile today. The new deal will be minus the US, after President Donald Trump pulled his country out of negotiations more than a year ago. The CP-TPP is aimed at reducing tariffs in countries that together amount to more than 13 percent of the global economy …or about 10 trillion dollars. Had the US remained part of the discussion, it would have been closer to 40 percent.
